Chapter 19: Face-to-Face

Piccolo was angered at the attempts of Isabelle to mislead him to his brother; he now realized why she tried to get away as soon as they landed.

She was only a child still she looked around 15 maybe 16, he was not able to contain the stress any longer to much was at stake to be playing games with a little girl.

Piccolo threw Isabelle to the grass she yelped on impact, He walked toward her with a stoned expression that was just as cold.

"You deceived me and it will cost you"

Isabelle recoiled in terror she buried her face in the grass afraid to watch what would happened next, then a loud bellowing cry caught her ears forgetting her fear for a moment she lifted her head to see Piccolo grasping his shoulder he had been injured

Purple blood seeped through his the white material on his shoulder pads.

"Ahhhhrrrr…dammit"

Piccolo cried out in pain from the impact on his shoulder turning to the sky he spotted his attacker, the expression on Piccolos face could have been called original.

There floated a familiar yet new face, a namek it was Bongo….

He hovered a dozen meters above the two on the ground his eye wide in anger his fists clenched the veins in his forehead were about to burst through his skin; he could not hold his distress any longer.

"I SAID YOU WOULD NEVER HARM ANYONE I LOVED AGAIN"

Piccolo stared at his younger brother he had changed he was taller, broader and stronger yet he still wore the white gi and red belt from 10 years earlier only larger to fit his size.

There was only one feature Piccolo could not ignore Bongos left eye was missing… the one he mutilated 10 years ago.

"I am not here to harm them"

Bongo blinked in surprise at Piccolos words but would not let himself be fooled he knew what Piccolo was capable of.

"Do not take me for a fool, your return would mark our doom and I am not allowing that to happened."

Bongo came yet closer seeing Isabelle still lying on the grass staring in awe.

"Isi get out of here NOW!"

Isabelle turned to Bongo immediately she followed his wishes by running out into the sea of prairie toward her destination where she would be safe.

Piccolo watched Isabelle running out into the distance he then turned to Bongo whom was a few steps ahead of Piccolo.

"It is not in my nature Piccolo, but I will destroy you for what you have done"

Piccolo smirked his brother had toughened up but he was not in for a happy reunion Piccolo had his own ideas of how a reunion should be.

"Well if that's the way you want it"

Piccolo darted up toward Bongo his shoulder had not yet regenerated but he still launched his attack on Bongo, Bongo had anticipated this he dodged some of Piccolos swings delivering a few himself.

Bongo gave a sharp roundhouse kick into Piccolos back but it only achieved in angering the elder namek, Piccolo returned with an elbow in the stomach to Bongo.

The two brothers continued the battle of rage Piccolo had a small advantage he was taller and slightly broader than Bongo.

But Bongo had his own advantages seeing the still injured shoulder of Piccolo he slammed a hard fast fist into it sending Piccolo crashing to the ground.

"Grrrahhhh, coward you go for the injury fight with some courage"

Piccolo could not move his arm the ki blast that first injured his shoulder and the firm fist now had pushed it out of its socket he knew he would need to regenerate this limb but it will take time that he did not have his head was starting to swivel it was becoming difficult to focus.

"I am not doing this to match your strength or power, this is to protect those whom you would harm"

Bongo raised his hands out in front of him, palms facing Piccolo on the ground in a loud clear voice he proceeded.

"Kakusanyud…"

Bongo felt a sharp pain in his back it sent him crashing to the ground himself, when the dust cleared he looked up to find two unfamiliar faces staring down at him from the air.

"Gohan go check on Piccolo"

Goku ordered his son to go and tend to his injured sensei on the ground.

"Right"

Gohan nodded and hurried to his sensei's side he reached Piccolo he could see the blood and the strange position of his arm it looked serious.

Goku eyed the namek on the ground as he flew up to meet Goku head on; he stopped and eyed the Saijin.

"This does not concern you sir, it is imperative that I rid this world of that demon"

Bongo's words were blunt and meaningful he had seen Piccolos wrath and did not want to again.

"I'm sorry but I can not allow that friend, he is a friend of mind and no one harms my friends"

Goku calmly waited watching Bongo raise an eyebrow is surprise then his face softened he was astonished at this mans comment

"You are Piccolos friend? That's impossible he had no friends and even if he did they would not last long, who are you sir"

Goku took a deep breath he could sympathise with the notion that Piccolo was not the social type and was once unpredictable but not anymore.

"My name is Goku we are here seeking someone to help us Piccolo brought us here in the hope of finding him"

Goku paused waiting for the baffled namek to respond.

Bongo was shocked Goku, its not possible.

"You are Goku?"

---------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

"Piccolo? Piccolo?"

Gohan pleaded for his sensei to awaken Piccolo opened his eyes to the young half Saijin and grinned weakly he had lost a lot of blood.

"Hey kid glad you could make it"

Gohan looked up into the sky his father and the strange namek were surprisingly calm not fighting he wondered what was going on, Gohan turned back to Piccolo.

Piccolo grinned again then the darkness took over he was unconscious the blood still spilling from the wound in his shoulder.

---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

Piccolo saw darkness, nothing, black, and nil.

*How pathetic I died *

He thought to himself the idea of being dead was much more realistic than sleeping, Piccolo never dreamed he suddenly felt pain coming from his side he remembered the injury but there was pain around hi head and his head also felt a wet cold sensation.

Sensing movement around him his eyes still shut reached out grasping the form above him; slowly he opened his eyes to find the large light brown eyes looking back at him in surprise.

Isabelle was startled whilst she was applied a wet sponge to Piccolos forehead he suddenly reached up and tightly caught her entire hand in his without even looking then he slowly opened his eyes and ogle back at her with a emotionless expression.

"What are you doing?"

Piccolo asked calmly watching her face attentively she made no attempt to move.

"I, was, you were badly injured, And.. and..Unconsiouse"

Isabelle partly from fear but she was also naturally a shy person not very approachable not because she despised people she was afraid of what they would say to her.

Not having many people around was not very helpful either

Piccolo did not release her hand instead he pushed it away to the side rising into a sitting position then released her.

He found himself on what looked to be a fold out couch in a very familiar room it was the house that Bongo and he had lived in for many of their young years.

"Where is Bongo?"

Piccolo looked back at the girl before him she was rubbing her hand from the pain of Piccolos handling.

"He is outside, …with your..Friend?"

Isabelle rose to her feet her head bowed she left the living room walking into the kitchen leaving Piccolo alone on the couch.

He leapt from the couch realizing that the fight was over for now finding the back door he spotted Vegeta, Gohan & Krillin out in the grass and closer to the house stood Goku conversing with Bongo…
